Target Institutions of Higher Education

The Illinois Chapter of College and University Professional Association represents human resources professionals at public and private colleges and universities in the State of Illinois. Because all institution types are unique, it can be difficult to develop a presentation to benefit everyone. First think about how your presentation will benefit those from more than one institution type. Then select the institution types your session will benefit most. (check/bold all that apply)
